I have a website for my business. BUT – How do I get people to find me? I know it has to be part of a “Search” engine. If I join Yahoo small business & move my website to be part of yahoo, won’t I be part of the “search” topics? Do I still need to purchase “Sponsored search” Marketing? Where i pay per “click”? How does a business/company get on the 1st page of a search list? For example: No matter what you search for: Target.com ALWAYS has what you are looking for!!! Yet when you go to target, they don’t carry it! Too Funny!

o.k. lets start at the beginning!
It comes down to research! It starts with Keywords. First you need to find keywords you are going to optimize your site for. For example a sport is a too generic of a keyword, while baseball sport is more specific so you have to learn how to do your keyword research first!
Second you have to register your site and start adding one way links to it. This is all done with anchored text (explained in the video)
You need those links to come from high page ranks sites again explain in the video link below.
Than you can write articles and send traffic to your site that way, I can show you how. You need to have quality content on your site for all of this to work. If you are ready to work at it, you will get it on the first page of google
The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the “Description” which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one’s goods and services.
And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
“Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very “generic” search query
“sandwiches downtown los angeles,” taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to “LA” and of course, leave
out the parentheses (“). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where “Nazos.net”
is ranked. It’s ranked No. 1!
Again, Nazos.net’s high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google’s publication guidelines.
Good luck!
You need search engine marketing. That is the only way to get your business at the top of each page (no guarantees). Furthermore, 87% of searches come from Google, MSN and Yahoo, google being the leader at over 54% of those searches, I think 62% now. Don’t bother trying to speak to someone at Google unless you plan on spending hundreds of thousands of dollars with them. So, you should find a reputable company that offers this service. I have a recommendation if you like, email me. They are pro’s, speak in normal langure and acutally bought the company that started search engine marketing.
